Chapter 103: Mine Tunnel Plan
"High-speed Channel Construction Plan."
Looking at the short stretch of road outside the territory, a small plan emerged in Levi's mind.
Since the buildings built by the subjects can be regarded as an extension of the territory, there is no need to do many things personally.
For example, Levi was already tired of mining.
The mining of the iron ore vein outside can be directly handed over to the people, and the transportation and storage can be carried out by mine carts, transport mine carts, and hopper mine carts.
Although there is no redstone to make powered rails, there is a substitute for this thing in this world - the dwarven gear power device. Their gears can be installed on the rails, providing power like redstone, allowing the minecart to move automatically.
This kind of device is very common in Lonely Mountain, where their cable cars and mineral transportation hubs are equipped with some automatic mechanisms.
However, there is one thing that needs attention, that is, the material consumption of gears is quite large. If gears are installed on each rail, even with Levi's current inventory, it will be a bit of a waste. It is also time-consuming because it requires "dwarf steel" to make, which requires the use of the dwarf furnace in the underground forging hall.
There is no need to pursue extreme efficiency. It is not slow to put a gear as a power source every few steps.
"That's settled."
On this day, the residents discovered that the lord had started a new plan.
Mineral vein track construction plan.
Based on the direction of the iron ore vein outside the city, a wide underground transportation mine tunnel was built. It is fast and safe, and can also be used as a hidden passage when necessary.
While the plan was being implemented, Levi also formulated some benefits for participants, including but not limited to faster contribution increases, and those who participated the most in the labor could obtain special commemorative items made by the lord, etc.
Levi obviously underestimated his influence.
On the first day he issued the order, other resource industries almost came to a standstill. Everyone came with tools and started queuing up to dig the soil, knock down stones and build mine tunnels. The speed was almost as fast as Levi doing it himself.
In fact, during this period of time, the people in the territory have not been living in peace.
Life in this place is so dreamy. There are free beautiful houses to live in, warm clothes to wear, and no shortage of food. Beef, mutton, chicken, pork, fish, meat and all kinds of vegetables are available to eat and take as you like. The only requirement is not to waste them.
There is no need to worry about the safety of the territory. With those tall iron golems and lords around, no one dares to do evil, and no enemy dares to invade the roadside fort. It can be said that this is the safest place in Middle-earth.
If you think about it this way, the royal families of some kingdoms or the nobles in their fiefdoms may not necessarily live better than here.
The price of all this is just to do some necessary work every day, and the time is not long. After finishing work every day, you can have plenty of free time to do your own things.
At this time, many people could not help but think back to their previous lives: they lived from day to day, working hard but not always able to get enough to eat, and they had to watch the movements of the orcs and the wargs in fear, fearing that the village would suddenly disappear one day.
That really highlights a hardship.
Compared with the previous days, and with the reminders and speeches of the old village chief Wade, everyone felt that they should do something for the lord, but their lord had everything he needed and had not issued any new orders. This meant that many people had no chance to repay him, and they could only take the initiative to extend their working hours every day, which would make them feel a little more at ease.
There is a saying that free is the most expensive.
The lord may not care, but the residents do.
This group of humans is relatively simple. They have not been eroded by the power of darkness, nor have they experienced too many conspiracies and intrigues.
The present life and daily work are all they have.
“In fact, some people can be left to do other things.”
Looking at the residents gathered in front of the pothole, Levi gave this reminder, and then immediately some residents who were less efficient in digging holes or repairing roads were voted out to do other work, which made those people very frustrated.
Watching the project progressing smoothly, Levi opened the map and checked the nearby terrain.
Roadside Fort is not very close to the iron ore vein. A rough glance shows that the straight-line distance is at least more than 20 kilometers. When Levi was mining by himself, he had to run back and forth for a long time, and his backpack was always full when he returned home.
The distance to the iron ore vein is long, but not in the way.
For other places, a road of more than 20 kilometers, especially an underground tunnel, may be a huge project. In addition, we have to consider the salary and stability of the tunnel. It will take more than a few years from construction to completion.
But here in Lubianbao, more than 20 kilometers can only be regarded as a distance unit and a construction target. There is basically no difficulty. The only thing required is time.
Given the current working capacity of residents and their willingness to work overtime, it may be done in a few months.
This is because there are relatively few people. If there were more people, it probably wouldn’t take more than a few months.
At this time, Levi thought of the earth worms in Moria.
That thing is digging faster than he can. "Maybe I should take some time to go to River Valley City to have a look..."
Speaking of earth worms, Levi thought of his other territory.
At this moment, the people of River Valley City did not know that they were authorized to use special tools for work, and people were still repairing the ruins in their accustomed way.
They work with their own tools and plant ordinary seeds.
The few differences from a normal city-state are the pumpkin fields and unlimited water left by Levi, which can ensure that they will never lack food and clean water.
Under Bard's leadership and with the assistance of the dwarves, the ruins of Dale City are gradually reviving and developing, and the speed is not slow at all.
Although it is definitely not as good as Roadside Fort.
However, Levi really doesn't have the energy to take care of two places for the time being, especially since there are so many people in River Valley City.
In fact, if he didn't need to summon an iron golem, he wouldn't want that place at all.
This is also why Levi implemented offline management for lords from the first day he became the lord of River Valley City.
Asked, he's not there.
"Let's wait and see when we have time."
Take care of your family first, and then consider gradual expansion after making sure all mechanisms are in place.
After confirming that there would be no problem in executing the new territory's goals, Levi took a pile of gold ingots and stepped into the gate of hell again.
The environment changed from cold to hot in an instant.
Temperature has no effect on Levi. Whether it is a snowy and cold day or a scorching hell, Levi can treat it as if it does not exist. He can just feel the cold and heat, but he will not feel cold or hot.
Unless the cold or heat reaches a certain extreme and can cause direct harm to people, such as fire, or extremely freezing ice hell.
Of course, Levi didn't come here to test the temperature.
"I came to Hell today for only three things."
"Deal, deal, and deal!"
Click.
Levi put down a big box, randomly selected a few lucky shopping piglins passing by, circled them up, threw down a few sets of gold, and waited quietly for them to throw out their own things.
